3. Finishing your project

 

Practical Training in Research

Follow these guideline for  Intra Muros Practical Training in Research.

Guidelines for Practical Training Report Submission

Given the diverse range of topics in Chemistry and Biochemistry, the School does not enforce specific requirements regarding the length or structure of the report. These details should be discussed and agreed upon with your supervisor before you begin writing your report. 

Submission Process

At the conclusion of your internship, submit your report to your internal supervisor for evaluation.

Final grade

Your UNIGE supervisor will record your final grade on the internship form prepared at the beginning of the internship. Students are responsible for providing this form to their supervisor. Once completed, the supervisor will send the form to the academic advisor for credit registration. If the final title differs from the provisional one, a new title can be added to the form. It is recommended to write the title electronically to avoid transcription errors when it is recorded on your diploma transcript.

Certification of Authorship

On the back cover of your report, include and sign the following declaration:
"I hereby certify that all statements in this report that originate from sources other than my own thoughts are properly attributed to their legitimate sources. Any statements directly copied from another source are explicitly enclosed in quotation marks."

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence  

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for document writing have to be presented explicitly (text in italics and/or colour) and clearly referenced. The student must follow the statement regarding the use of AI at UNIGE published by the Rector's Office.

Follow these guideline for  Extra Muros Practical Training in Research.

Guidelines for Practical Training Report Submission

Given the diverse range of topics in Chemistry and Biochemistry, the School does not enforce specific requirements regarding the length or structure of the report. These details should be discussed and agreed upon with your internal supervisor at UNIGE (répondant interne) and your external supervisor before you begin writing your report. 

Submission Process

  1. The student validates his/her written report with his/her external supervisor,
  2. The student submits his/her written report to his/her internal supervisor at UNIGE for evaluation,
  3. The external supervisor sends comments and an assessment to the internal supervisor at UNIGE (suggested grade between 1 and 6).

Final grade

The internal supervisor evaluates, awards the grade, completes the original electronic form (grade and final title) and forwards it to the Academic Advisor for validation of ECTS credits. Students are responsible for providing this form to their supervisor. If the final title differs from the provisional one, a new title can be added to the form. It is recommended to write the title electronically to avoid transcription errors when it is recorded on your diploma transcript.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality does not exempt students from submitting the final report or completing the oral defense. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the project being marked as failed. Please check requirement in the "2. Preparing the agreement" section.

Certification of Authorship

On the back cover of your report, include and sign the following declaration:
"I hereby certify that all statements in this report that originate from sources other than my own thoughts are properly attributed to their legitimate sources. Any statements directly copied from another source are explicitly enclosed in quotation marks."

Master Thesis

Follow these guideline for Intra-Muros thesis.

Evaluation 

The evaluation of the Master thesis is based on:

  • the appreciation of your work in the laboratory,
  • the written master thesis manuscript,
  • the oral master thesis defense.

Evaluation Process 

  1. The student submits his/her written report to his/her supervisor. The report should be submitted within a few days of the end of the laboratory stay.

  2. The student organizes his/her oral defense. The oral presentation usually takes place a few weeks after completion of the work.

  3. The supervisor evaluates, awards the grade, completes the original electronic form (grade and final title) and forwards it to the Academic Advisor for validation of ECTS credits.

Thesis manuscript

Given the diverse range of topics in Chemistry and Biochemistry, the School does not enforce specific requirements regarding the length or structure of the thesis mansuscript. The thesis should include a litterature review of the project topic, your research results, and a discussion. These details should be discussed and agreed upon with your supervisor before you begin writing your report. 

The oral thesis defense

The master's thesis is concluded with an oral defense. Generally, the defense should be public and held at UNIGE. The length and expectations of the defence should be discussed with your supervisor.
